KRZYSZTOF PENDERECKI Violin Concerto Christmas Symphony Around the mid-1970s Penderecki's style began to change. The Violin Concerto No. 1 largely leaves behind the dense tone clusters with which he had been associated, and instead focuses on two melodic intervals: the semitone and the tritone. Some commentators went so far as to compare this new direction to Anton Bruckner. This direction continued with the Symphony No. 2, Christmas (1980), which is rather straightforward from a harmonic and melodic standpoint for a composer who had been one of the most experimental in Europe. It makes frequent use of the tune of the Christmas carol, "Silent Night".

Ludomir Rozycki Master Twardowski ballet in three acts (nine scenes) Rozycki's music, to this one of the best known Polish stories ever told, is of characteristic form, drawing for its musical inspiration mainly from folklore, both Polish and foreign. It is the source of expressive motifs and dance forms (krakoviak, oberek, mazurka). The composition is richly instrumented, melodic, lively, interwoven with familiar childhood melodies of folk origin.
STANISLAW MONIUSZKO Hrabina (The Countess) Highlights from the opera.
The music of Moniuszko's works is largely representative of the 19-th century opera, given the extensive use by the composer of arias, recitatives and ensembles. His music too, although stylistically distinct, evidently incorporates many national motifs: Polish dances popular among upper classes such as polonaise and mazurka, and folk tunes and dances such as kujawiak and krakowiak.
Wanda Wilkomirska Violin Concertos: Wieniawski Szymanowski Khachaturian Shostakovich Wanda Wilkomirska is my choice for most underrated/underappreciated violinist of the 20th century. She is the only violinist of whom I can say that EVERY piece I've heard her play (live or recorded) was either absolutely the best performance of that piece I had ever heard, or was right up there in a tie with the very best.(Terry King)
